Tuesday class (week 4)

Class was a little slow today. We had a test on Barber laws/regulations. Pretty sure I aced it.

After that, one of the instructors decided he wanted to feel important and teach the "new people" stuff for a few weeks.

Today he went over...yes, you guessed it folks...honing and stropping!

to say the least I was bored. He made a huge deal about how the angle was SO important. He kept saying make it more of an X, etc. I really wanted to bust his chops, but in the interest of saving time, I just listened to what he had to say. He almost lost it when I started to hone left handed (which is the way I hone.) Anyway, after wasting an hour listening to him, we finally got to go out on the floor.

Cut one person's hair today. It was a bit of a chore, and honestly, I felt a bit lost since it required me to take a LOT of hair off before I could "see" how to cut it the way he wanted. Next time I need to do better. Oh well, this is part of the learning process I suppose :D
